Weapon.uc defaultproperties

Quite simply this is a commented section for defaultproperties from one of our weapon classes. I thought that some folks might find it handy. Not everything is filled in yet (heh) but eventually I'll update this when it all is accurate. There was a section related to our mod at the end but it has been removed. You might find an odd reference to it, if so, please let me know.

Object >> Actor >> Inventory >> Weapon >> CustomWeapon

If you have any corrections please let me know. Thanks.

This information has been integrated into the Weapon information page.

Comments

Trystan: If someone knowledgeable can verify the accuracy of this information I'll happily throw it into the proper places in the rest of Wiki. :) I'm mostly concerned with the information around the light, hue, etc., and some of the animations. I'm fairly confident the rest is accurate.

Chazums: I have added a few new bits and stuck my name by em, more info on the playerview offset and playerviewpoivot are on my dev journal here

Mychaeel: Feel free to simply start a new page, Weapon, and format it along the lines of the other class pages (for instance TeamAI and GameObjective, two pages I recently set up). When you are not sure about something, just add a note along those lines to it.

Trystan: Thanks Chaz! And will do Mychaeel. All right you guys have gotten me to be confident I can't muck things up too bad so I'll start trying to fill in some of the blanks around here rather than padding my journal. :D :D

Balu: Nice work, Trystan. Looks like your journal is about to get my main infopoint ;-). May I suggest to make a note on top of pages that you included somewhere else in the wiki like "The info you can see here has been moved to Weapon, please go there."

Trystan: Thanks Balu, and good idea.
